Nintendo - 2DS - Crystal Red

My initial reason for buying the 2ds was just so u can play pokemon. I got through the game and had a lot of fun with it.now I'm renting games from my library but still coming back to pokemon from time to time. The 2ds is great for what it's meant for, playing games without the 3d effect, which I know most of my friends don't use anyway. Smash Bros is also great on this, it seems easier with the L and R button placement. The size isn't too bad either. I usually wear pants with big pockets and it fits very well in my pocket. Even some of my lady friends have an easy time putting it in their bags. Even the battery life is great. I can go and play for an hour and put it in sleep mode and play about 4 hours later and still be above 2/3 battery. I'm only 18 and have a part time, but to me it was still with it.

Does your older child have a 3DS? Does the middle child beg to borrow those games but his regular DS will not play them? Have no fear - this great new design will play all DS and 3DS games (currently available) and all without the fear of that pesky hinge problem a lot of DS models fall to. Looks AWESOME in the Crystal Red too! Just what my now six year old wanted! Happy gaming! P.S. Do yourself a huge favor and invest in screen protectors. Remember this doesn't close to the screens are always exposed.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my 9 year old granddaughter to replace her DS Lite that broke. The best part of this system is there is no hinges to wear out or break and her eyes are not hurting from the 3D games all the time.

Personally, I dont care that much about the 3D functionality, but I really wanted to play the new games, so this was a great option for me since the price is really good.

A good, cheaper option for those who don't want to shell out for the 3DS or those who wouldn't use the 3D.

My daughter had the 3DS but the hinge broke and the screen cracked twice! Afterwards, I decided to get her the 2DS. She loves it! There's no hinge to break and it is quite sturdy. The see-through red color is really cool and I got it at least $30 less than competitors.

Works great, kids love it. Looks sort of like a tablet, can't play the games in 3d, but for half the price is a good deal.

Good value for the new product, but my son says he wishes the screen was bigger. Cool effect being see through.
